  • Fact is most large casino's are on private islands. Fact is mainland casino's are rather small in comparision and provide just as much lag if not less then those at a club on mainland.

Using high rez textures on a home can contribute more lag (client or computer lag) making it more noticable to the user then scripts. Using AO's on yourself and multiplying that by everyone that's at a place in SL can contribute to lag.

    Bottom line is casino's are not all to blame for mainland lag.

    And no... not all casino's go camp crazy with 20+ camping chairs and 20+ zombies. :)
